Can I Quit Propecia Cold Turkey After 9 Weeks Use?

I noticed in the first weeks that my erections were getting weaker but kept on it after reading through forums and seeing that the side effects went away for some people.

However, yesterday I couldn't get an erection AT ALL and my dick feels pretty much dead.

I'm only 22 and am already depressed so the thought of never getting hard again is really increasing my suicidal thoughts.

I started taking it 9 weeks ago on August 14th so just under 2 months and I'm wondering since I haven't been taking it for that long can I just stop now instead of tapering off? I really don't want to take this drug anymore.

Also can I immediately start using Nizoral shampoo & Rogaine or should I wait until I've been off Propecia for a while?

I took finasteride for a month, erections suffered hard. Came right off it as soon as I noticed the effects.

I've heard its good to cut the doses before stopping though.

Took a while (months) but I basically returned back to normal , so that's fine.

Jump on nizoral & Minoxidil right away.

Just thought I'd give an update for anyone suffering side effects that everything went back to normal for me about 2 weeks after I stopped.

Really hoping Nizoral & Minoxidil works for me now.
